Sipsey Fork (0316-0110) Sub-Watershed: Upper Brushy Creek NRCS Sub-Watershed Number 030 Landuse: The Upper Brushy Creek sub-watershed, located primarily within the Bankhead National Forest, drains approximately 88 mi 2 in Lawrence and Winston Counties. Land cover was estimated to be 97% forest. A total 1 current construction/stormwater authorization and 2 CAFO registrations have been issued in the sub-watershed (Appendix B). Percent land cover estimated by local SWCD (Appendix A, ASWCC 1998) Forest Row crop Pasture Mining Urban Open Water Other 97%
Sipsey Fork (0316-0110) Assessment stations located within the sub-watershed. Descriptions are provided in Appendix E-1.

GSA Fish IBI assessment location as reported in Shepard et al. (2001); b. GSA Fish IBI assessment location as reported in Shepard et al. (2002) GSA’s Mulbery Fork Asesment (Shepard et al. 2002). The macroinvertebrate and fish communities was assessed as good and fair/poor, respectively (Appendix O-2). GSA assessed the fish community as poor (Appendix G). Water quality data collected at the site are presented in Appendix O-3. At GSAMF-29, Brushy Creek is located within the Dissected Plateau (68e) subecoregion (Appendix E). The reach was asesed during GSA’s Mulbery Fork Assessment (Shepard et al. 2002). Substrates were a mixture of boulder, cobble, gravel, and sand (Shepard et al. 2002). The fish community was assessed as fair (Appendix G). Capsey Creek: Capsey Creek was assessed at GSAMF-30during GSA’s Mulbery Fork Assessment (Shepard et al. 2002, Appendix E). Substrates were a mixture of bedrock, boulder, cobble, gravel, and sand (Shepard et al. 2002). The fish community was assessed as good (Appendix G). Collier Creek: Substrate composition of Collier Creek at GSAMF-32 was very similar to Capsey Creek at GSAMF-30 (Shepard et al. 2002). However, the fish community was assessed as fair (Appendix G). Rush Creek: At GSAMF-31, Rush Creek is located within the Dissected Plateau (68e) subecoregion (Appendix E). The reach was asesed during GSA’s Mulbery Fork Assessment (Shepard et al. 2002). Substrates were a mixture of bedrock, boulder, cobble, gravel, and sand (Shepard et al. 2002). The fish community was assessed as good (Appendix G). 121
